Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
The NPC blacksmith Enzo waved at Nobody Does Human Things, acknowledging his greeting.
He and Nobody Does Human Things were quite familiar with each other.
They had dueled in card games many times.
There wasn’t much business sometimes.
They would even play cards for an entire afternoon.
“His Majesty has recently crafted a batch of new equipment. If you need anything, you can exchange it with contribution points,” Enzo said, taking a puff from his pipe. He opened both the regular shop and the contribution point shop for Nobody Does Human Things. Only for top-tier players like him would he mention the contribution point shop, as most players from the third beta test couldn’t afford it.
Upon hearing this, Nobody Does Human Things nodded and first browsed the regular shop.
He remembered that several sets of standard equipment were for sale before. However, due to their exquisite craftsmanship, they required a significant amount of contribution points, making them low-value for a practical fighter like him.
Now that he had exchange coupons, he could consider exchanging for them.
However, this time, Nobody Does Human Things planned to exchange these equipment for Mia.
Mia was currently wearing a set of Fine Grade green-skinned equipment. If she wore it out, and people assumed she was his follower, Nobody Does Human Things felt embarrassed!
The equipment system on Cain Continent was not complicated.
There were a total of four sets: cloth armor, leather armor, plate armor, and heavy armor.
Mages and assassins would typically choose cloth armor and leather armor, respectively, while warrior-class professions would choose plate armor and heavy armor based on their positioning.
Of course, this was not absolute.
Take that guy, Player Name, for example. Although he was an assassin, he had learned Greatsword Mastery and had just exchanged for a set of heavy armor.
In addition to these, there were shoes, hats, necklaces, and rings.
Shoes and hats were also divided into cloth, leather, plate, and heavy armor.
Necklaces and rings did not have as many divisions.
The only difference was the enchantments they carried.
Nobody Does Human Things browsed through the various attributes and detailed descriptions of this equipment.
Finally, he chose a set of leather armor called [Wild Leopard].
This set provided a 20% bonus to speed and defense, along with a slight magic resistance.
The accompanying [Wild Leopard Hat] was a pair of snow leopard ear clips, providing warmth and a 25% increase in hearing.
The [Wild Leopard Boots] increased stealth by 30% and also provided warmth.
This kind of lightweight and beautiful leather armor was perfect for a girl like Mia.
Not to mention, this set was a one-piece black silk outfit!
Only the chest and abdomen were covered with snow leopard fur, while other areas, including the back and thighs, were entirely black silk!
As for why black silk could also provide warmth, that could only be attributed to the advanced enchantment technology of this other world.
“This equipment is for you, Mia.”
Nobody Does Human Things handed over three Grandmaster-grade pieces of equipment along with a Grandmaster-grade necklace that increased vision to Mia. This extravagant gesture not only made Mia’s eyes widen but also caused the surrounding players to exclaim in amazement.
Grandmaster-grade equipment. Players from the third beta test had also obtained it through quest benefits.
Although everyone had one now, it didn’t mean this Grandmaster-grade equipment would be devalued.
Considering the game also had an enhancement system.
Those wealthy players would constantly bring their equipment to Enzo for forging and enhancement to achieve a +6.
Then, the third beta test players, who were more interested in money, could sell their exchange coupons.
Currently, the market price for one exchange coupon had been driven up to over 8,000 yuan, and it was even difficult to find one at any price.
And right before their eyes, 24,000 yuan worth of equipment was given to the follower beside him?
While many third beta test players felt heartache, they also exclaimed that Nobody Does Human Things was a spendthrift.
However, many female players did not think so.
They were more sentimental and had a keen sixth sense. With just a glance, they could tell that the relationship between Mia and Nobody Does Human Things was unusual. And Nobody Does Human Things’ current actions were not only romantic but also full of a sense of ritual!

“Th-this is for me?”
Mia clutched the equipment, which was incredibly expensive for her, and was too shocked to speak.
Grandmaster-grade equipment!
Moreover, they were a set with complementary attributes.
Such a Grandmaster-grade set was already qualified to be put up for auction.
And now, Nobody Does Human Things gave it all to her without batting an eye!
“Yes, am I going to wear women’s equipment?” Nobody Does Human Things blinked his eyes. “It’s for you. Go change into it. Only when you wear good equipment can you help me in the future!”
Now that Nobody Does Human Things had Mia.
He would no longer be a simp for that girl next door.
Before, in a fit of madness, he had even brought that girl to the Winter Solstice Banquet.
As soon as he returned from Emerald Fortress, he heard that the girl had already gotten involved with the son of a wealthy merchant.
He was giving Mia such good equipment now.
One was, as he said, to enable Mia to help him. The other was to save face!
Let’s see who the real clown was!
“Lord, th-this is too valuable.”
Mia blushed, her expression flustered, trying to return the beautiful leather armor in her hands, but Nobody Does Human Things pushed it back forcefully.
“Wear it if I tell you to wear it, that’s an order!”
Nobody Does Human Things frowned, looking serious.
Upon hearing it was an order,
Poor Mia immediately stopped talking. She could only hug the exquisite Grandmaster-grade leather armor to her chest, lowering her head and obediently looking at her toes, but in her heart, she was filled with sweetness.
Lord, this is… this is him caring about her, isn’t it…
Mia secretly rejoiced.
She had taken a quick look earlier, and this set of leather armor seemed a bit too sexy, which was not in line with her personality. But since it was given by Nobody Does Human Things, even if it was shameful, she was willing to wear it every day.
Seeing that Mia had accepted the equipment, Nobody Does Human Things then opened the contribution point shop, and his pupils contracted, and he exclaimed “Holy crap!”
He saw that all the equipment displayed in the contribution point shop was exclusively purple Grandmaster-grade equipment.
Not only were the attributes powerful, but the appearance was also very cool.
Take the Blazing Sun Longsword placed first, for example.
Even without a +6 enhancement, it had special effects.
The hilt was hollowed out, with something like a small sun embedded inside, emitting a dazzling light. The sword’s attributes were even more domineering, with +8 armor penetration and +6 toughness. Without any enhancement, it already crushed his +6 Grandmaster-grade longsword.
He then glanced at the prices below, and Nobody Does Human Things gasped.
A full 100,000 contribution points…
Looking further down, there was the Sun Armor.
It seemed to be designed in imitation of King of Winter’s Dragon Crystal Armor. The huge blazing sun gemstone on the chest would surely make anyone wearing this armor a walking light bulb in the crowd.
Of course, the price was also stunning.
150,000 contribution points…
In addition to these, there were the Wild Rose series lace robes, lace cloth armor, and the Wild Heatwave series leather armor. They had powerful attributes and were aesthetically pleasing, with each priced at no less than 100,000 contribution points.
Damn it, why doesn’t King of Winter just rob people?
Nobody Does Human Things’ eyelids twitched, and his liver ached faintly.
He glanced at his 80,000 contribution points, which was the highest in the entire server, and for the first time, he felt his poverty and the King of Winter’s ruthlessness.
King of Winter wasn’t being generous this time; it was all to pave the way for the launch of these new sets, creating a better way to harvest players’ money!
